Data Protection and Data Privacy Compliance

Support initiatives to identify and protect sensitive data, such as PCI, PII and PHI, and designated privacy regulations, including GDPR (EU) and Gramm Leach Bliley (US)

Cyber security and network surveillance solutions are used to protect the perimeter but many Insurance institutions still carry the risk of a data violation due to the lack of proper protection of sensitive data in both production and development environments. With so much data flowing between systems and the proliferation of this data to often ungoverned systems, identifying and keeping track of where sensitive data is across the enterprise is challenging and often impossible to do effectively and efficiently. The problem is an ongoing one and requires Insurance institutions to be constantly aware of the potential for a violation.

Many Insurance organizations do not have a clear understanding of where their sensitive data is, especially as it proliferates internally and externally with partners. Not all Insurance organizations understand the risk associated with the use of sensitive data and the impact of proliferation.

The Informatica Intelligent Data Platform (IDP) supports initiatives in Insurance institutions to find, classify, track and risk score sensitive data in both production and non-production systems. Once sensitive data has been identified, our solution can mask that data to ensure it is used for the purposes defined by the data privacy policy. As part of data protection and data privacy initiatives, our solution supports Insurance institutions to:
